4Installing the synchronisation software onto your PC
In order to install the Overlays from POI FINDER onto your Becker navigation system,
you rst need to install the synchronisation software onto your PC. Simply start the Web
Downloader on the CD/DVD and follow the installation instructions.
During the rst installation, you will be asked if you would like the positions of xed speed
cameras in Europe to be installed on your navigation system. If you would like this data to
be installed, click “YES”, if not, click “NO”. Your rst installation is completely free of charge;
only a data update would carry a cost, and this can be selected from our Premium Content
Shop.
Note: The laws pertaining to the use of speed camera data are not standardised
throughout the EU. It is up to you to check if the use of such data is legal in the country
in which you are driving. In Germany, for example, the use of such data whilst driving is
illegal.
Following a successful installation, and for following updates, you can start the
synchronisation software by clicking on “Start -> All Programs -> POI FINDER 3 5 (Becker)
-> POI FINDER 3 5 (Becker)”.
